Colliver, Jerry A.; Feltovich, Paul J.; Verhulst, Steven J.
Teaching and Learning in Medicine, v15 n1 p2-5 Win 2003
Reviews the studies on which a meta-analysis by Springer, Stanne, and Donovan (1999) were based; the meta-analysis had concluded that small group learning in science, mathematics, engineering, and technology education is effective. Concludes that the meta-analysis' call for more widespread implementation of small group learning is not supported. (EV)
